Hi everybody (I'm new)


I need to use the no-width optional break to enforce line breaks after slashes. However, when I try to insert one from the Insert > Symbol menu, there's no effect: no line break, and nothing shows up despite the display of all non-printing characters being on. However, I can get the desired behaviour if I insert the optional break from the keyboard (Alt+8203) (both the line break and the display of the box-in-box non-printing character). Can anyone enlighten me please?


(One additional thing: If I use the Insert menu to put the optional break in the middle of a word, the word gets the red squiggle underline, but nothing else happens.)


Thanks!
